Asante Samuel Claims Some of His Patriots Teammates Were 'Brainwashed'

Ever since the Patriots dynasty began, New England’s culture has been dubbed “The Patriot Way” to explain how players elevate their talent level when playing there. Yet, one former Patriot isn’t a big believer in that saying.

Asante Samuel, who played cornerback for New England from 2003 to ’07, doesn’t agree with former teammates who praise “The Patriot Way.”

“Some of them be brainwashed with that Patriot Way. I ain’t going for none of that. I don’t know what no Patriot Way is,” he said on the I AM ATHLETE podcast, via Mass Live.
